THOMAS, Mariana Schnorr  and  BONIN, Iara Tatiana. What Art High School textbooks teach about Indigenous art. Roteiro [online]. 2019, vol.44, n.2, e17343.  Epub May 14, 2019. ISSN 2177-6059.  https://doi.org/10.18593/r.v44i2.17343.

This paper discusses ways of representing Indigenous art practices in two art High School textbooks, selected for distribution in public schools through the 2015 Programa Nacional do Livro Didático. From the perspective of Cultural Studies in Education, which guides the current study, textbooks are seen as artefacts shaping and spreading knowledge and promoting regulation in culture, while including or excluding, in this case Indigenous, aspects and practices. The analysis shows that the Indigenous art is a disputed concept, either bent by Eurocentric conceptions, or multiculturalist discourses, when it is included in textbooks.
